Uncover the Untold Story of Billy Caldwell Join us for an exclusive screening of The Negotiator: Billy Caldwell, a compelling documentary that sheds light on the extraordinary life of Billy Caldwell—also known as Sauganash. This film explores Caldwell’s role as a chief, diplomat, and treaty negotiator during one of the most turbulent periods in Native American history. Billy Caldwell’s Legacy: Why This Story Matters:
Born to a British Army officer and a Mohawk mother, Caldwell navigated the complex worlds of Indigenous and American politics, advocating for peace while facing the harsh realities of displacement and broken treaties. His negotiations in the 1829 and 1833 treaties led to the cession of millions of acres of land in Illinois, securing temporary protections for his people amidst relentless westward expansion.
Caldwell’s life is a mirror to the struggles of Native American leaders—torn between survival and resistance—while highlighting the erasure of Indigenous voices in American history. Through his story, we gain a deeper understanding of Chicago’s early history, the westward expansion, and the enduring resilience of Native peoples
